Now that we have used a Design Thinking approach to identify problems to be solved and then identified some appropriate potential solutions, we can begin creating technology-based prototypes to aid in the evaluation of these solutions. These technology prototypes can be viewed as early development attempts that might later evolve into full-fledged production-level solutions. At this stage, we need to control the scope of our development efforts and go just far enough to evaluate whether we are on the right ...
